.@marwilliamson on the importance of continuing to send weapons to Ukraine, her worry that the Left in America today "doesn't give any sense of agency" to Ukranians and why she "resents" other candidates in the race being referred to as the "peace candidate":

Wow, I used to like @marwilliamson. She's the last one I would have expected to punch left and sneer condescendingly about people who object to the proxy war and are pro-peace.

I didn't mean to sound like I object to calling it a proxy war; it IS a proxy war. All I meant to say was that it's not only that ... that the analysis can't stop there.

How do you suggest we create a cease-fire right now? If we withhold all support from Ukraine, there will not be a cease-fire. Russia will simply crush Ukraine. How is that a pro-peace position?
Obviously we should support a negotiated settlement! All efforts in that direction, such as a summit proposed by Denmark, we should support! But simply saying “I’m pro peace” without saying how this would actually be achieved, is just a “let Russia crush Ukraine now” position. That is not a peaceful scenario. The “settlement” would simply be the end of a sovereign nation.
